Keane did it as Nottingham Forest player in an FA Cup tie at the City Ground. A Cup replay that Forest won 3-0 and he ran half the length of the field to shout "F*** off you Geordie w******!
The fact that he is now the boss of the Mackems makes it even easier to stick pins in my voodoo doll.
Speedie was never a full shilling. A nutter who no-one could take seriously.
He scored a hat-trick against us at Ewood Park and milked every strike, each celebration ending with a similar verbal insult that came from Keane.
But when the 5,000 Geordie crowd sang "We´ve all shagged yer wife, Speedie!", he finally hit the blue mist and the police had to drag him from the field.
That little Cockney tosser Dennis Wise is the third of the trio, and he goaded us at Stamford Bridge at the end of a League Cup quarter final that we lost 2-1.
Injury time, Chelsea were hanging on, and Wise took about two minutes to take a throw in. Egged on by the Geordie crowd to "get on with it" he turned to the Toon section and shouted: "you want the ball you Geordie f******? You can have it!"
And he threw it into the crowd. He was booked, but wasted all of injury time and the whistle went straight afterwards.
Yes ... we (NU Mad) hold a grudge for a long time. You had better believe it!
